Upon further reflection,I must admit you are correct in that McKenna doesn't want my tears.In fact,she wants an ever increasing share of my hard earned money in the form of carbon taxes.It's always the solution from progressives to every bloody problem real or imagined ,higher taxation.

Looks like Trump may have just tweeted himself into a (obstruction of justice) box once and for all. He has now drawn an indelible line between firing Flynn for having lied to Pence and the FBI and then a day later telling the FBI director to lay off Flynn, and then firing Comey. Trump's legal team must be banging their heads on their desks at their client's insistence to continually indict himself. Fun for the rest of us to watch though.

I don't want all Muslims interned even if Canadians are subjected to Islamic terrorist attacks. I do not support Muslims being attacked or Mosques vandalized by idiots. I also do not support M103 in any way,shape or form. For anyone to deny that there is a very serious problem of radicalization within the Muslim world,he or she is simply out of touch with reality.I don't know how big or small the number of radicals is ,but these nutjobs intend to inflict serious harm .Remember the Toronto 18? It is a clash of cultures in some cases as some of these newcomers do not integrate well into Western society.It's not just terrorist attacks by the way. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/06/world/europe/coordinated-attacks-on-women-in-cologne-were-unprecedented-germany-says.html http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/346059 http://mackenzieinstitute.com/rise-islamic-extremism-canada/ Sharia law in Canada is also a real possibility by the way. http://www.billionbibles.org/sharia/canada-sharia-law.html https://www.theguardian.com/news/blog/2008/feb/08/sharialawincanadaalmost

More deflection when presented with facts about Canada's "universal" health care system that limits coverage, provides unequal access by province/territory, has stupidly long wait times, and prohibits private insurance solutions.

Dietary restrictions and preferences are not anywhere near the same as wearing the symbol of extreme Islam, and the denigration and dehumanization of women. Whether a person eats pork or not - how does that affect society? Forced burka/niqab DOES affect society, it affects the women who wear it, it affects their children, it affects men and how they view/treat women, it is an affront to women and a reminder of how easily we can go back to women being second class citizens, barely human. The essence of a democratic society is that civic participation is extended to all. Deliberately preventing an entire gender from participating in society as identifiable individuals is a slap in the face to the entire foundation of our society. The essense of the burka is that women are not recognized as individuals, not empowered to make their own decisions. The whole point of it is to impede interaction outside the home. While authorities cannot interfere witih what people do inside their homes, the public wearing of burkas is a statement that women are unequal and must be segregated. Like a KKK march or the wearing of swastikas, it is an assault on the legal place of women in society and an intimidating statement of bigotry against them. If radicals are prevented from making public statements about the inferiority of certain races, why should they be permitted to assert the inferiority of an entire gender? Muslims are free to believe whatever they want but a public display that dehumanizes women as a gender by treating their faces and bodies as obscene is a violation of the norms of our society. Islamophiles can deny it all they want, but a French study found that 77% of girls who wear the hijab do so because of threats. http://www.weeklystandard.com/article/14126 Many women who defy the burka and hijab by posting pictures of themselves without it are threatened with blackmail and violence. The burka divides women into "good girls" and "whores" and gives rapists religious ammunition to justify their crime. In response to a gang rape, the Cheif Mufti of Australia said, "If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred." The burka doesn't just isolate the woman, it also covers up abuse. In Afganistan, 87% of women report being victims of domestic abuse. http://section15.ca/features/news/2008/07/04/afghan_women/ In Pakistan, that number goes as high as 90%. This is an especially vital issue in Western countries where spousal abuse is a serious crime, so the abuser has even MORE motivation to hide the abuse. The Muslim community is in denial about its abuse rates and the burka is one of the reasons why. Do you still want to compare it to whether someone chooses to eat pork or not?

And now the climate barbie ,is now Ms Anti Coal, ( we use less than 10%) to go after trump and change the channel on her own mistakes. America pulls out of paris and their emissions have dropped 10X more than ours. China and others are pumping it out as fast as they can. China even said its emissions will not dropped for another 13 yrs, but yet heres canada cutting its own throat for absolutely nothing. Just so trudeau can be liked.
